The Burden For The Gospel Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 28, 2018

Paul had a convicting burden for the Gospel that compelled him to preach and share the good news. Every believer should share that burden. Are we burdened for the Gospel, compelled to share?

The Paradox Of Burdens Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul's apparently conspicuous contradictions, and puzzling paradoxes are the result of his God-given ability to see the whole of life, and not just some of its parts in isolation.

In South Dakota a man by the name of August had a clothing store he was going to close up. His was not one of those perpetual year around closing sales. He was actually intending to go out of business by July. So he hung a sign in his window which read, The First Of July Is The Last Of August. ...read more

Bearable Burdens

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jun 15, 2024

God gives us "bearable burdens" so that we can grow in his matchless grace. His grace is perfected in weakness as we walk out the burdens He has given us to carry, just as Paul did with his thorn of the flesh.

God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (ESV) Have you ever been in a situation ...read more

Burden For The Lost

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 2, 2024

The elder son was in close proximity to the Father, but their hearts were far apart. The elder son's thinking differed from the father's thinking. Despite residing at Father's house, the elder brother did not share the Father's burden for the lost son.

And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Luke 15:20 The prodigal son has returned to the Father, but there are many elder sons who still have not returned to the Father. ...read more
